gazoo 20,395 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I noticed the depth chart has Hooper, Stocker and Saubert as our #1,#2,#3 respectively. Do you think Paulson is on the bubble? If we keep 4 TEs he’s probably safe and keep in mind Keotter does keep 4 TEs in some years. If Stocker subs as FB and Ortiz is out that enhances Paulsons chances as well. I noticed Saubert got a ton of snaps and his blocking, the few times I zeroed in on him, appeared sound. I would need to go back and watch all the snaps and focused on him to see how he did though.

NWFALCON 3,943 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I need to find a full game replay but I saw Graham as a lead blocker. He whiffed on a couple plays that I did see. Paulson got blown up on a play that led to a sack Link to post Share on other sites

Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 No, I don't think Logan Paulson is on the bubble. I have no reason to doubt that the Falcons will carry 4 TEs with Luke Stocker serving as FB. Ricky Ortiz is the guy on the bubble to make the team. Link to post Share on other sites

And Paulsen is a better blocker, which Mularkey prefers. Link to post Share on other sites

Typically the long term contributing veteran always gets the nod on depth chart unless a younger player moves in front of him due to what coaches are seeing at that point as how it is going to shake out.

A non answer, which is what I assumed you’d provide. If you are asking me if depth charts are dispositive the answer is no. But you are not answering as to why Saubert is in front of Paulson on the depth chart today. Given what we see if tends on the depth charts, the vets that have been contributing for years typically always get the nod unless a younger guy moves in front of him due to what coaches are seeing at the time the depth chart is released. Given the trends we’ve seen, it makes no sense Saubert would be in front of Paulson unless Saubert earned that advancement. Again, we all know things can change in future , but I’m not asking you about what might happen in the future. Why is Saubert in front of Paulson at this point in time if you believe coaches feel Paulson is obviously better? Carpenter was moved to starting LG on depth chart and sits there at this moment. Do you think that’s because at this moment Carpenter is in the lead to start at LG as coaches have suggested? Link to post Share on other sites

But coaches don’t just move young developing guys in front of long time contributing vets on the depth chart for no reason. I can’t dismiss this positioning is meaningless, there’s got to be a reason for it. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's the only reason for the order on the depth chart. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's the only reason for the order on the depth chart. I do know only the Eagles top 2 TEs had more TD catches collectively than Keotter’s Bucs top 2 TEs a couple of years back, so no doubt if Saubert is proving himself to coaches this camp as a legitimate receiving threat that could explain it. Don’t forget Saubert was lighting it up in last years training camp in passing game, making all kinds of diffuclt, impressive catches that drew praise from coaches and teammates. Once season started Sark simply didn’t use him in passing game at all, but that won’t be the case this year if he truly can be that #2 guy capable of perhaps 200 yards and a few TDs to go along with a lot of blocking. Late last year Saubert was looking good in run blocking. Link to post Share on other sites
gazoo 20,395 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YgiROOVkTM This Beautiful pass, route, break with great separation and hand catch at 14 seconds in might have something to do with it. Ball was in air before he even broke, that was deadly precision on both Ryan and Saubert Link to post Share on other sites
